This. I’m reminded of being with an addict who wants you to indulge with them, so that they won’t be alone in their addiction and yet – and this is key – they think their experience means they understand life better than you do.

Thin people feeling insulted isn't what's wrong with the BMI. The problem with the BMI is that it's designed around white men's bodies. The problem with the BMI is that it ISN'T A CLINICAL TOOL, it's a statistical one. The problem with the BMI is its use to exclude fat people from health care.

I have said this before and I will say it again, but it is my firm belief that given the blatant and naked corruption exhibited by some members of the Roberts Court, decisions of the Roberts Court should not be treated as precedentially binding on later courts.

And yet when some of us told y'all this is what he was doing, it was straight-up ignored, and i still don't see the plurality of dem politicians saying they're going to actively Do something about it, if and when they get back into power.

Trump is threatening mass death in Iran if he doesn’t get his way. He has spiraled out of control—and Congress has the power to stop him and end this war. Every Republican lawmaker who refuses to speak out, ducks a question, or votes to continue this war bears responsibility.

This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, it’s extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.
Things we want people to know. 6 years after the start* of the COVID-19 pandemic. *The day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This was not the date of the first case.It’s not just a cold. We wish it were just a cold. We would not keep talking about it if so. Since 2020, doctors, scientists, and millions of people who have had COVID-19 have learned that it can cause permanent damage to multiple organ systems within your body, leave you disabled and unable to do the things you love, and significantly harm your quality of life.  A cold cannot disable or kill you the way COVID-19 can.We know a lot more about prevention than we did back then.  We all remember when we thought maybe we’d be ok as long as we were 6 feet away from sick people; that masks worked one way but not the other; and more. But just like with all new viruses and scientific study, we learned more as 
there was more time to 
study and observe, and we 
now know that wearing masks 
and keeping cleaner air are key to 
protecting ourselves and others. Now that we know better, we can (and should) better protect ourselves and others.We understand the frustration about vaccines, but they are still extremely important. We all remember when vaccines were first made available, and it would’ve been great if that was the end of the pandemic. It wasn’t. And a lot of people have gotten frustrated and have given up on vaccination. It’s true, the virus that causes COVID-19 changes (which is why, like the annual flu shot, we need to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year), and the vaccines we have now will not eliminate COVID-19 on their own. But they are still very effective at preventing serious illness and death, so 
even though they are not the one quick
solution to the pandemic we all wish they 
were, they are still extremely important, 
and we should all stay up to date.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

“Did they grow up under a rock??” Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control. This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.
